The Influence of Traditional Chinese Philosophy on the Artistic Characteristics of Landscape Painting Creation

Abstract

As an important part of traditional painting, Chinese landscape painting is deeply influenced by traditional Chinese philosophy. This article analyzes the influence of Confucian, Taoist and Buddhist philosophy on the creation of landscape paintings, and explores how these philosophical ideas shape the artistic characteristics of landscape paintings. Confucianism emphasizes the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, which is reflected in the true reproduction and idealized combination of natural scenery in landscape paintings; Taoism advocates nature and emphasizes "governing by inaction", which is reflected in the pursuit and expression of the natural state in landscape paintings. Buddhist thought focuses on inner peace and detachment, which is reflected in the creation of artistic conception and the expression of spiritual realm in landscape paintings. Through the analysis of these philosophical thoughts, this article reveals the unique artistic characteristics of landscape painting in terms of composition, brushwork, and artistic conception, and explores its value and influence in contemporary art creation. Research shows that traditional philosophical thoughts not only enrich the artistic connotation of landscape painting, but also provide new perspectives and inspiration for modern art creation.
